Wednesday marks World Teachers’ Day, an annual event devoted “to appreciating, assessing and improving the educators of the world,” according to UNESCO.

UNESCO declared Oct. 5 to be World Teachers’ Day in 1994 after a proposal advocating for the “rights and responsibilities of teacher as well as international standards for their initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment, teaching and learning conditions,” was approved, according to the UNESCO website.
